Hans Annellsson and/or his band The Vegetarians have appeared on the vast majority of the Zappa themed CDs I have compiled for Cordelia Records over the last 16 years - indeed, the last one (ZappaRap) was all Hans' idea! They also played at Zappanale in 2011. The Vegeterians here are essentially Hans with John Tabacco (formerly of Lennon Tabacco Zappa, who played at Zappanale #13). John too has appeared on a number of my Cordelia albums and possesses a lovely, warm singing voice, very much at the forefront of this collection of new tunes, mostly "about our increased dependence on A.I." The songs are all written by the pair, with a little help from guitarist Anthony Pomes on three numbers. They are also aided and abetted by a number of musicians on various tracks, but the duo are the real stars here. A mix of pop, rock and prog with lyrical (and some musical) references to Zappa, Beefheart and The Beatles. Not only a collection of memorable tunes, but some fun lyrics too. Grab your copy here.
